Yesterday I ordered a colon cleanse and acai berry weight loss vitamins. I read some of the reviews and they sounded great! but I’ve started to wonder if I’ll have to excercise on these tablets? I’m 15 and want to drop a dress size or two by christmas! do you think this is possible, I don’t have a lot of time to excercise with studying and everything! the main area i want to lose weight in is my legs and sides? also could you lose weight on your face with these?
how do they actually work? I know a colon cleanse makes you go to the toilet alot more often than you normally do! but do you lose control of your bowels?

basically if you or someone you know has ever taken either vitamin or both what was your/their experience?!?!?
thanks!
also would i have to diet? I eat healthy anyway!
the colon disease colitis runs in my family do you think these tablets would reduce my changes of getting the disease?!?!
thanks again!

I have been having weird bowels lately, they have been small about the size of fingers, they used to be logs but I havent had a healthy log of poop in a few months…im thinking its my intestines are twisting up that way i cant form normal longs…any ideas? it might be becase im overweight

I ask this after reading 3 books.

This is a serious question: I now its not supposed to smell like roses, but how do you tell someone that their bowels smell like something crawled up them and died (for hours); and that they should look into getting their colon cleansed? It can actually be a serious health problem.

I know a little bit about colon cleansing and the facts on colon cleansing and what it does to improve your health, but has anyone ever done a colon cleanse and if so, what is best product and most affordable one out there that works? I am just curious to if a clogged colon is responsible for all sorts of problems like foggy memory, lack of energy, irregular bowels and not having a bowel movement everyday, lack of concentration, mood swings, as well as a pop belly when you aren’t exactly that much overweight. Those symptoms represent me and I was wondering if doing a colon cleanse regimen would make me feel like a whole new person and give me energy and strength to go work out in a gym and build up my muscles. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So heres a little background… I realized I probably have a problem with Candida (yeast) overgrowth due to antiobiotic use a while back, sinus infections, and a diet full of dairy, meat, and processed foods instead of fruits and vegetables (and low fiber).

Before I started any type of treatment for this, my "stools" were irregular, maybe 2 times in 3 days, and I would often either be constipated or have really loose, smelly diahrrea (sorry).

I first started on the Candida Diet and only ate berries, meat, vegetables, and everything else in extreme moderation (except for some alcohol on the weekends). I then started using Candida Clear by NOW, its a blend of potent anti-fungal herbs which got pretty good reviews. I started taking this to help with the Candida, and thought I would also do a colon cleanse concurrently to make sure there wasnt some kind of blockage making my candida worse. I used Oxy-Powder, which uses ozone (oxygen) to cleanse the digestive system. I think my bowels might really be screwed up though, because when I took the recomended dose (4) I didnt get much results. Once I upped it to 8 pills, I got the effects I had expected but while it said to expect 3 bowel movements a day, I still only got 1 or 2. I also take Dr. Ohhira’s probiotics to help replenish the good baceria. Together, this approach led me to lose a lot of waterweight and my acne got MUCH better over a week or two.

After doing this for a while I decided to use a psyllium (fiber) based colon cleanser to see if it would work better than the oxy-powder. I am still taking Candida-fighting pills but now taking psyllium twice a day. I expected this to increase my bowel movements and maybe even pull out a few "ropes" like you see from Colonix (psyllium is the main ingredient in the system). None of this has happened – since I started taking the psyllium I have felt bloated around my midsection and clogged up. I’ve gone back to only having bowel movements of about 2 in 3 days.

Now my main question is: could the candida be why I am so clogged up? Could it be from eating too much meats? What should I do now? I just want to clear out my gut, and now I’m afraid the psyllium I thought would help is lodged in there and might not come out… what supplements could help?

I’m 18, and for the past one year, I have gotten myself to eat extremely healthy. Especially after having gone off to college, I’ve been eating extremely healthy, and don’t eat out anyways since I am vegetarian and prefer my home-cooked meals. I have been drinking lime water (to detox) every morning for the past year, and psyllium husk (to cleanse the bowels) for the past few months every morning. I was suffering from acne, and wanted to lose weight from my lower body. I also hit a gym for a few months in the beginning. Now that I am at the peak of my growth, and after having come home from school for the summer, people seeing me after a very long time hyperventillated over how much weight I’ve lost (especially at how prominent my collar bones appear to be)!! And now I agree, I’ve been losing too much weight off my upper body. I’ve been trying to explain to them that I do eat, but I eat healthy, and maintain a low-fat diet. Just yesterday, after the pressure from family, I have stopped taking the lime water and psyllium husk, but I am afraid I’ll gain weight on my lower body and face again! I need to gain fat, but on my upper body just in time before my growth spurt ends and I’m left flat-chested. The other reason I’m so concerned for that is because all the women in my family are well-endowed, and I’m convinced the reason I haven’t put on weight up there now is because I’m eating way too healthy for my age. What can I do to help myself? I have a smaller appetite now too. I’m going to try to give a tablespoon of olive oil each morning a shot, to bring up my healthy fat levels and improve my skin and hair, start drinking 2% milk and having 2% yogurt instead of my normal skimmed milk and skimmed yogurt, and not avoid sugar as much as I used to. Maybe I just think I gain weight on my lower body, and now that I’ve been losing weight off my upper body, my body will put it on there first? Someone please shine some light on this!

I’m on a guilt trip everytime I eat calorific goodies and unhealthy foods. I really do crave those things at times, and enjoy them once in a blue moon, but I’ve learned to suppress those craving over the past year. I really hope somehow I can start eating right for my age and gain the weight I need to, where I need to, before my body will refuse to grow again!

Note: I feel healthy, energetic, am anemic and vegetarian. I take multivitamin and calcium supplements everyday because I am vegetarian and normally follow a south asian diet. Please make your suggestions according to that.

i have been struggling with irritable bowel syndrome for a week now. I was prescribed Levsin to help relax my bowels, Although I take the medication every four hours like i’m supposed to I still have trouble eating, I went for 4 days and did not eat. I finally ate and the first few times i didn’t have an attack, but i starting to have stomach pain after the last meal. Is there certain foods that are better for me to eat, or am I just going to have to deal with this the rest of my life! Please help me!

to the bathroom? Are you such an addict you can’t break away long enough to cleanse your bowels?

Ok so i am trying to cleanse my bowels, colon, and hoping for some weight lose to, however i don’t have the exact ingredients for the master cleanse. I was wondering if this will still work.
Regular syrup with 2% maple syrup( the nutrition facts are similar to grade b maple syrup).
Lemon juice. Well its much easier to work with, and its says that it pure lemon.
Then caynne pepper.
I will filter the water at home
If I do this will the cleanse still work, or not? please help. And if you have any other suggestions. I actually started it already. First day.

I have been using codine to control my bowels but I would prefer some other product as this leaves me very tired and it doesn’t do much good for me. Any other ideas?

I’m very interested in detoxing my body but don’t want to listen to someone who is trying to sell me something. Does anyone have any advice or recipes for someone who wants to detox?

I guess I’m looking to do it for an extended period of time ~2 weeks or something and would like to cleanse my bowels in the process so I’m looking for soup/health drink type recipes and previous experience

Castor oil do? I hear It cleans your intestines, bowels. What else does It help out

Ok, here’s the thing. Yesterday we had a Japanese delegation in the office for a very important sales meeting. I had been so nervous about this that I hadn’t been able to move my bowels for days before. Then, all of a sudden, in the middle of negotiations, I get the call; and don’t mean a whisper but a shout. So, apologizing with the lame excuse that I had left some papers on my desk, I applied a severe sphincter-lock to myself and beat feet out of there, bee-lining it straight for the john. Once there, it was all I could do to drop drawers and plant myself before the event occurred. First I gave a rectum ripping birth to a big brown baby easily 22 inches in length with a girth the size of my forearm. This was followed by 15 minutes of noxious and explosive, splattering diarrhea. By the time the episode had passed, I was soaked in sweat, splotched from the waist down with plops of poop and had filled the room with a pernicious, putrid, almost visible moist cloud of cloying gas. Praising the Lord in no uncertain terms, I cleaned myself up as best I could and made to leave when it came to me that I hadn’t flushed. There was nothing to do but to return to the scene of the crime and pull the chain. To my horror, the only thing that happened was that soup and substance went round and round while the bowl filled and ran over the rim. My new born now lay on the on the slimy floor like some fetid fetus from hell. I left the room in a panic. But just as I walked into the hall, I saw the Japanese delegation approaching. They were headed for the john. No sooner had they entered than the air was filled horrified “Ohhhs!!!” and “Ah-sooos!!!” that reverberated through the building. They then began snapping pictures. It is my responsibility to close the deal with these people, but they now look at me with something between disgust and loathing. If I don’t close this deal I fear I will lose my job. My company sells personal hygiene products. Please help! What should I do?

The earth trembles in a quake
as it coughs to
loosen thick phlem.
The ensuing tidal wave
hits the shore, a
robust sneeze.

Island volcanoes spew forth
burning lava
when the earth can no longer
control its bowels,
ridding itself of
putrid bile.

Heavens open to cleanse and
cure the earth’s ills,
flooding the land
with currents of rain,
washing the streets
and its soul.

I have a lot of weight to lose, and I need to at least LOOK thinner in a short amount of time, for a special–and obviously unplanned–event. I’ve heard that colon cleansers can help you clean 10-20lbs of useless crap from your body and make you feel loads better, and even give you a flat stomach. Is this true?

Thing is, my bowels seem to work fine. I have loose stools a lot, but I’ve just gotten over several years of binge-eating. If I use my bowels daily anyway, is there any point buying these products?

I don’t want anything with senna or a laxative-effect because they ruin your bowels. I just want something to clean out all the junk so I can feel better, look thinner, and start afresh. Any idea which products are the best (in Australia) that I can buy in capsule/pill-form in the pharmacy? Do they even work?

Thanks for any advice!

I want to cleanse my bowels, and stop this constipation naturally, without the use of laxatives,

cany body help

I was thinking of doing the master cleanse but the salt water flush makes me gag just thinking about it. If I just do a juice fast how long for my bowels to be clear and flushed?

Im 8 1/2 wks pregnant and really havent had good bowels but now Im in a lot more pain because I havent gone in 5 days. When should I go to the doc for this? When does it get serious?

I have decided to start the Master Cleanse tomorrow after much consideration. I have a few questions if anyone can help me out.

1. I weight 240 lbs. How much of the mixture should I be drinking?

2. Do you have to drink the saltwater every single day?

3. It mentions you should take an herbal laxative to help induce bathroom time. What time during the day should I take this? I don’t want to be at work talking to someone and then have to stop in the middle of conversation because my bowels are about to explode!!

Thanks,

(Please don’t tell me this is a unhealthy diet because I have already told myself I’m doing it)

I have to lose as much weight as possible for a competition so i figured i could "cleanse" my bowels. What is a good way to do this?

I feel like I am on a pooping schedule. If I eat a big meal, I have to poop about 10 minutes after, like clockwork. Other than that, I dont really have a problem with my bowels and my stomach doesnt hurt a lot or anything. I just poop a lot and when I eat heavy, always 10 minutes after, I have to go. Could this be irritable bowel or something else?
